In mid-March, as more Americans were ordered to stay home to slow the spread of the coronavirus, a sense of foreboding started to creep up on British rocker Yungblud.
His US tour — set to kick off in April at the Coachella music concert in Indio, Calif. — had just been canceled, and his Asia tour had been nixed before that.
He was starting to worry that his source of connection to the world — namely, performing music — could be put on hold indefinitely. “I saw what was happening to the world.
Everything was closing down drastically to the point where everyone was going to be stuck inside. Tours were being canceled left, right and center,” said the 22-year-old.
